But... wasn't this the underlying point of Solnic's opinion piece?
Due to Rails "well deserved" domination in the web framework space, POROs never had a chance of contributing to friendly and just competition across the Ruby community. We simply ended up with shitty alternatives because no one was given the proper chance to be BETTER Rubyists.
They just kept eating the gluten and feeling the allergy pains, so to speak.
Ah well...
EDIT: shrug quoting...
Cheers!
However, it's not hard to imagine these scanners have moved further past the days of the Morris worm and aren't just simple port scanners. Identifying what services are on what ports is a relatively easy process that doesn't remove much from the discovery phase of a bot or script kiddie. Hell, code review metasploit for a half hour and rip theirs out.
I'll still donate to the cause however. Keep up the fine work gents! :)
